This project will engage people with cognitive disabilities in the design of the next generation of home assistive technology, leveraging a step change in artificial intelligence. For over one million people with cognitive disability in Australia, the project will accelerate innovation in independent living technologies that respect privacy, dignity and self-determination. The interdisciplinary research team will establish a new paradigm for multi-modal assistive technology with design guidelines, co-design approaches and evaluation frameworks. This will benefit all Australians through an energised and ethical home assistive technology market, providing savings in institutional care, jobs in a new industry and improved quality of life.
